Summary
As reported by @radinamatic, Xubuntu no longer ships with python-pkg-resources, which prevents a pure dpkg -i-based installation.
So either it's possible to have the dependency as a soft dependency, or we should stop telling people to invoke dpkg and instead run other tools that handle dependency resolution like gdebi.
Version
- Installer: Debian (Xubuntu)
- Version: 0.17.3
